Downpipe spacer plate – 30mm projection for cast iron downpipe.
UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.
The downpipe spacer plate holds a cast iron downpipe away from the wall surface with a 30mm projection, creating a standoff between the pipe body and the masonry face. The plate is fixed to the wall and the pipe clip or strap bracket is then fixed through or to the plate, positioning the pipe at a consistent distance from the wall along the full run.
A 30mm standoff allows air to circulate behind the pipe, preventing the damp accumulation and accelerated corrosion that can occur when a cast iron pipe sits in direct contact with a masonry wall — particularly on stone or lime-mortared walls where moisture retention is higher. Suitable for use with round, square, and rectangular cast iron downpipes. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suits Victorian, Edwardian, and inter-war residential and commercial properties where the louvre-pattern vent was the standard specification. It is the correct like-for-like replacement on listed buildings and conservation area properties, and suits new heritage-style construction requiring an authentic period ventilation grille.
The H530 measures 330mm wide x 150mm deep x 350mm high, making it well suited to Georgian and Victorian terraces, where a compact, narrow footprint is needed.

All of our cast iron radiators are availbale as standard with a 1/2″ BSP (15mm) connection. We are though also able to supply many of our radiators and valves with 3/4″ BSP connections. Due to the size proportions of some radiators and valves 3/4″ connections may be more suitable.
The School Board Airbrick suits Victorian and Edwardian institutional, civic, and residential buildings where the square-grid airbrick pattern was standard — including school buildings, civic halls, estate housing, terrace houses, and warehouses. It is also appropriate on listed buildings and conservation area properties as a like-for-like replacement for worn square-grid cast iron vents.
Hopper heads are supplied in red oxide primer ready for on-site painting, or pre-finished in black. A full range of Heritage Colours in traditional linseed oil paint is also available on request — please contact us for the swatch chart.
Yes. Traditional cast iron column radiators are the authentic choice for period interiors, and plain patterns such as the Victorian 4 column are usually preferred by conservation officers. Replacing radiators or altering pipe runs in a listed building may need listed building consent, so speak to the conservation officer before work starts.
